Monday Morning Star Count - Week 22 and Background Fabric Reveal

 Year Four of the temperature quilt  

Week 22 

September 21 - 27 

72, 77, 79, 70, 68, 70, 68



For Years Two and Three, I purchased fabrics for the backgrounds of the blocks.  This year I'm not so crazy about shopping and being around lots of people, so I looked through the fabrics I already have.  I found some fabrics that look like cross stitch or samplers and decided to use them.  I've been busy sewing the temperature blocks to the seven inch square background blocks. As soon as I get them all sewn together, I will remove the week number hexagons.





I am reporting the high temperature each day.  My Year Four temperature/color (Fahrenheit) scheme remains the same: 

100 + Brown 

90-99 Red  

80-89 Orange 

70-79 Yellow  

60-69 Green  

50-59 Blue 

40-49 Purple 

30-39 Pink 

20-29 White 

10-19 Black

  1. The background works well, especially against the red, and oh, boy isn't there a LOT of red this year! It was a H O T summer!. I wonder if winter will mean lots of pink and white?

  3. Great work! Beautiful, colorful hexagons!
    Gradually, we become aware of the fact that we've got a lot of things at home. No need to rush to the store for fabrics or other items.

  4. Oh, I like that background! Even though you are using the same pattern every year, you still manage to make them all look different.
